Definitions

  • the present invention relates to apparatus for preparing and packaging photographic film.
  • Photographic rolled films after application of emulsion are subjected to a process including successive steps such as slitting, perforating, printing of a side mark including a side line, printing of frame No., sizing and cutting, rolling in a cartridge, wrapping and various transportation and packaging steps until the films are put into a corrugated cardboard box.
  • steps such as slitting, perforating, printing of a side mark including a side line, printing of frame No., sizing and cutting, rolling in a cartridge, wrapping and various transportation and packaging steps until the films are put into a corrugated cardboard box.
  • a packaging machine is provided for each of the steps, and a rolling operation is conducted in each step. These machines are operated independently and the films are delivered to respective machines in accordance with the progress of the work.
  • a broad film from a base magazine is slit into film of 35 mm wide by a slitting machine (see reference 11 in Fig. 1).
  • Perforations 12 are formed in both longitudinal edges of the film by a perforating machine. At the same time, side marks 13 and side lines 14 are printed on the longitudinal edges of the film.
  • Frame Nos. 15 are printed in the rolling machine.
  • the film is cut in a predetermined length 21 as shown in Fig. 2. Then, after a machining of ends 22, the film is wound in a cartridge as shown in Fig. 3.
  • the product is put in a resin can and is sealed in a carton together with an instruction manual.
  • Ten cartons are wrapped by cellophane (Trade Mark) to form a package.
  • Suitable number of packages typically between 100 and 200, are sealed in a corrugated cardboard box.
  • the packaging into carton and packaging for transportation can be made in a bright place.
  • most of the other steps have to be made in darkness to avoid the film being exposed. It is, therefore, necessary to conduct these steps keeping the working place dark by a light shielding cover or the like.
  • the working condition is extremely bad.
  • different steps are conducted by independent machines such as cutting machine, perforating machine, rolling machine and so forth under such a bad working condition. For instance, the number of stocks or number of films in the process is increased to require a large stock space.
  • the clerical managing work such as delivery of the films from one to another machine, as well as labor load due to repeated attaching and detaching of the film to and from these machines in the darkness, is increased inconveniently.
  • an object of the invention is to provide apparatus for preparing and packaging film in which devices for carrying out the individual operating steps which must be done in darkness are combined to simplify the process and to eliminate the transfer of the film between the machines thereby to make it possible to complete the process by one manual operation of attaching and detaching the slit roll film to and from the magazine.
  • the invention provides apparatus for automatic loading of photographic film in a cartridge comprising:
  • the preparation and packaging photographic film comprises a series of operations starting with the preparation of the long film blank on the magazine and rolling the film in the cartridge is made continuously by making use of successive machines such as a splicer, perforating machine, cutter, rolling chute conveyor and so forth.
  • a 35 mm blank film which has been slit by a slitter but not yet perforated, is loaded in a slit roll magazine 41.
  • a long film blank obtained by slitting a broad film into film of 35 mm wide is loaded in the slit roll magazine 41.
  • the slit roll magazine 41 which is a light-shielding magazine, is loaded with the film blank in a dark place.
  • a plurality of magazines thus loaded are set in a magazine rack in a bright place. Data such as magazine Nos., lot numbers of film and so forth are presented by a bar code or the like on the surface of the magazine 41. As the magazines are set, this data is read automatically and utilized as production managing information.
  • film is extracted from the next slit roll magazine 41 and the leading end of the new film web is automatically jointed to the trailing end of the old film web by a splicer 42.
  • An accumulator 43 provided in the joint portion is intended for preparing a film stock for continuously operating the perforating machine and other machines for steps following the perforation, even during the jointing of the film webs by the splicer 42.
  • the film web which is continuously supplied from the accumulator 43 is perforated at its both longitudinal edges as at 12 (see Fig. 1) by the perforating machine 44.
  • the perforating machine 44 is required to have a capacity which meets the capacity of other machines, particularly the film consumption demanded by a later-mentioned rolling machine. Such a requirement can never be fulfilled by conventional reciprocal perforating machine.
  • a rotary continuous perforating machine as shown in Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 44,583/75 well meets this demand.
  • printer 45 which may be the devices as proposed in Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 83,730/81 or Japanese Utility Model Laid-open No. 38,341/81.
  • the film web which has passed continuously through the perforating machine 44 and the printer 45 are fed intermittently through the operation of the dancer roller 46, and is transferred to the sizing and cutting operation conducted by a metering device 47 and a cutter 48.
  • the film which has been cut in.a predetermined size as shown in Fig. 2 is taken up and rolled on a spool by a rolling chute conveyor 49 and a rolling head 50, and is stored in the cartridge by a cartridge capping turret 51.
  • the film cut in the predetermined length is inserted into a chute which is adapted to move at a right angle to the direction of movement of the film, and is traversed one by one.
  • the film in the thus traversed chute is continuously rolled in the cartridge.
  • the cartridge is successively supplied to the end of the chute.
  • the total number of the thus loaded cartridges are automatically checked by an automatic checker 52, and are put in cans by a known can loading device 53 into a half-finished product suitable for handling.
  • the film preparing and packaging process which has been made hitherto in a sectioned fashion employing various machines which operate independently, is combined into one automatic machine with the aid of the accumulator 43 and the dancer roll 46 working in suitable portions of the process, and the preparing and packaging of the film can be made continuously under the control by a controller even if respective steps require different times.
  • the invention offers the following advantages.
  • the invention offers a remarkable improvement in productivity.
  • the whole process is suitably divided into a plurality of sections which are separated by intermediate partitions so that some sections are placed in a dark room or covered by a light-shielding cover, while other sections are placed in a bright room, so that the film in the section in the dark room or the light shielding cover is not exposed.
  • a light-shielding cover 61 is used to cover the whole portion starting from the splicer 42 and the can loading device 53, so that the apparatus as a whole can be operated in the bright place.
  • intermediate partitions 62a, 62b, ... are provided to separate major sections.
  • Fig. 5 shows the arrangement of the light shielding cover and the intermediate partition.
  • the space is sectioned by the partition wall 62 into small rooms 63m, 63n in which preparing and packaging M and N of the film are performed.
  • a window 64 constituting an access opening is formed in the partition wall 62.
  • a slide shutter 65 composed of two halves opposing to each other is provided in the window 64.
  • a rotary roller 66 made of black sponge is provided at the end of the slide shutter 65.
  • the small rooms 63m, 63n are provided with doors 67m, 67n, respectively. In operation, a film web F is moved between the sections M and N through the small window 64.
  • the slide shutter 65 is moved and retracted in the direction of an arrow to open the window 64 so that the film web F is directly stretched between the devices M and N.
  • the doors 67m and 67n are closed to permit the small rooms 63m and 63n to be used as dark rooms.
  • the slide shutter 65 is closed and the film web F is pinched from both sides thereof by rollers 66 to separate the small rooms 63m and 63n to provide a light-tight shield therebetween. Then the work is conducted by opening the door 67n. At this time, the film in the small room 63n is exposed but the film in the small room 63m is never affected.
  • the film web F When the film web F is reset on the apparatus after the completion of the work stated above, or when the film of a predetermined length is extracted from the small room 63m to the small room 63n, the web can be moved smoothly without being damaged, as two opposing rollers pinching the film web therebetween are made to rotate.
  • the apparatus As has been described, according to the invention, it is possible to place the apparatus as a whole in a bright room provided that a light shielding cover is applied thereto to permit a remarkable improvement in the working condition.
